In \u003cem\u003eThe Broken Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e, the\u003cbr\u003efirst and most definitive book on BDD, Dr. Katharine A. Phillips provided a comprehensive manual for patients and their physicians by drawing on years of clinical practice, scientific research, and professional evaluations of over 1,000 patients. Now, in \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Body Dysmorphic Disorder: An\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEssential Guide\u003c\/em\u003e, the world's leading authority on BDD reaches out to patients, their friends, and their families with this concise and updated handbook. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBDD causes sufferers to be obsessed by perceived flaws in their appearance and may afflict as much as two percent of the population, or nearly five million people. Many sufferers are able to function well in society, but remain secretly obsessed by their hideous acne or horrible nose, sneaking\u003cbr\u003econstant peeks at a pocket mirror, or spending hours at a time redoing makeup. Others find their lives disintegrate because of their appearance obsessions. It is not an uncommon disorder, simply a hidden one, since sufferers are often embarrassed to tell even their closest friends about their\u003cbr\u003econcerns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing stories and interviews to show the many different behaviors and symptoms of BDD, and a quick self-assessment questionnaire, Dr. Phillips guides readers through the basics of the disorder and through the many treatment options that work and don't work.
